소개

Time flies: it's been eight months since Apple announced its (digital) crowning achievement, the Apple Watch. Join us as we make time stand still by tearing down the Apple Watch—and see what makes it tick.

We were all set to disassemble the Apple Watch until we got distracted by a fancy graphic visualization. Oooh, pretty colors.

Not sure how to fasten that fancy Sport Band? Have no fear—Apple included instructions right on the back of the band!

There's no need for pesky charging cables—the Apple Watch features MagSafe inductive charging technology, which allows it to magnetically attach to the charger. Apple also touts that it is a "...completely sealed system free of exposed contacts."

Pressing this button on the back case releases a spring-loaded metal peg in the band, allowing it to slide right out.

If you're looking forward to swapping out bands, there's not much to it, physically. However, Apple would prefer that you only use bands from the same collection. No Link Bracelets on your Watch Sport, please.

The Sport Band is all plastic—or, more accurately, elastomer—with no metal watch band pins.

A quick flick of a plastic opening tool is all it takes to dispatch the light adhesive securing the battery.

This wee 3.8 V, 0.78 Wh lithium-ion battery is the power behind the 38 mm Apple Watch. No gears here! Apple claims the 205 mAh battery should provide up to 18 hours of use (which translates to 6.5 hours of audio playback, 3 hours of talk time, or 72 hours of Power Reserve mode.)

According to Apple, the "battery performance claims are based on test results from the 38 mm Apple Watch. A 42 mm Apple Watch typically experiences longer battery life."

A 205 mAh battery seems miniscule in comparison to the 300 mAh batteries found in the Moto 360 and Samsung Gear Live. Hopefully, Apple's Watch OS will help the battery stand the test of time and avoid the problems that initially plagued the Moto 360.

It's time to remove the Taptic Engine, which is attached at the hip to the speaker.

The Taptic Engine is Apple's take on the linear actuator. It creates motion in a straight line (as opposed to the circular motion of an electric motor), which in turn provides haptic feedback.

It makes sense that the Taptic Engine is attached to the speaker. When combined with subtle audio cues from the specially engineered speaker driver, the Taptic Engine is designed to output a unique motion.

The speaker comes equipped with an O-ring for water resistance. Like everything else in this device, it's tiny.

Apple's been touting Watch's IPX7 water-resistance rating. These gaskets help, but rapid temperature changes will cause any metal to shrink or expand and can compromise the integrity of these seals.

For the spec geeks out there, IPX7 means that the Apple Watch can withstand up to 30 minutes of full submersion in up to 1 meter of water.

Apple doesn't recommend testing those limits, stating that you can "...wear and use Apple Watch during exercise, in the rain, and while washing your hands, but submerging Apple Watch is not recommended."

With some careful tweezing, we pull up what appears to be an ambient light sensor.

We're betting that this is one of Apple's new solar cell ambient light sensors. This allows for the sensor to be behind the display panel, as opposed to the traditional surface-mounted design seen on most smartphones and tablets.

The Digital Crown seems to have an encoder system, like the Nest Thermostat, to read the spinning of the dial.

Rotary encoders work by translating the angular position of a shaft into analog or digital code that computers can understand.

The encoder branches off of the button cable, along with the single push button and the diagnostic port contacts.

All these peripherals leave us wondering whether Apple has any intention of offering an upgrade program for the Apple Watch. Stripping out the internals will be difficult and time-consuming—not the sort of thing your local Genius is equipped to handle, but we suppose Apple could provide a mail-order option.
